Follow Sportsmail's coverage of the Champions League as Real Madrid host Bayern Munich at the Bernabeu in the second leg of their semi-final. The German side have the advantage after winning 2-1 at the Allianz Arena and will target at least a draw to guarantee progress to a final set to be played on their home turf. Send me your thoughts on the action at dan.ripley@dailymail.co.uk or contact me on Twitter @Ripinho.

22.30: But that's it from me here. You have your final teams and the date so my work here is done. Thank you for following and good night.

22.27: A quick word on the penalties. Sergio Ramos crumbled under huge pressure to level the scores, and we expect his penalty kick that he blazed over the bar to join Chris Waddle's in orbit - yes the latter is still traveling.

22.25: An 'El Clasico' final was favourite but instead we will have a good old fashioned battle between England and Germany in the Champions League final.

It's Chelsea v Bayern Munich on May 19 at the Allianz Arena, as the Blues attempt to upset the German side on their own turf.

22.16: From InfostradaLive:

Real Madrid have not been involved in a penalty shootout in Europe since knocking out Juventus in R2 of the 1986/1987 Champions Cup.

90min: After Robben is brought down by Marcelo, the ex-Chelsea winger is furious to find out he has only conceded a throw in and not won a free-kick.

The Dutchman lets off a tirade at the ref and is unsurprisingly booked - but he did have a point.

89min: Free-kick to Madrid on the right flank as Ozil is brought down. The visitors clear Alonso's delivery though.

86min: That is a choke artist at work. Robben plays a simple ball across goal for Gomez to tap home, but he takes a touch before slipping trying to shoot with his second. By that point the Madrid defenders had swamped him to clear the ball. Just bury it first time for goodness sake!

84min: They are going to have to do it on penalties at this rate - this half has been very poor.

As far as sequels go, it's up there with the great letdowns alongside Basic Instinct 2.

81min: From InfostradaLive:

If Real win it will be a record 99th win in the CL, one more than Man Utd.

34min: My goodness, Munich should be leading! Gomez finds space to goal inside the box on the right, but his low shot is straight at Casillas who parries clear.

The Germans have another chance in the box seconds later, but Xabi Alonso makes a crucial sliding tackle to win back possession for the hosts.

31min: Inches wide from Benzema, who cuts inside from the left in the box before whistling a shot across goal and just past the post. Good effort.

30min: From InfostradaLive:

Former Real Madrid player Arjen Robben has scored 8 CL and La Liga goals for Real at the Bernabeu, winning all 8 matches.

But Robben failed to score in Bayern’s CL final vs Mourinho’s Inter in the Bernabeu (0-2) in 2010.

Inch perfect: Arjen Robben squeezes his penalty into the bottom corner to level the tie for Bayern Munich

27min: GOAL! Real Madrid 1-2 BAYERN MUNICH

What a game this is! We are now all square in the tie as Arjen Robben converts a penalty into the bottom corner despite Casillas getting a hand to it.

The spot kick came about after Gomez tumbled in the box following a slight push from Pepe as they tried to meet a cross.

The Madrid defender was booked.

26min: PENALTY (Bayern Munich)

23min: Munich remain on the attack but have been reduced to a couple of 25-yard sighters in the past couple of minutes.

Mario Gomez and Luiz Gustavo both missing the target for the visitors.

20min: From InfostradaLive:

Ronaldo is unbeaten in all 26 previous CL matches in which he has scored Real (12-2-0) and Manchester United (11-0-0).

17min: That doesn't change anything for the visitors by the way. They still need just one goal to get back into this.

That can't be good for the defence's confidence though - they were torn apart there.

Double top: Cristiano Ronaldo scores his second goal to hand Real Madrid the aggregate lead

14min: GOAL! REAL MADRID 2-0 Bayern Munich

Just sublime play from Madrid. A quick passing move finds Mesut Ozil 25 yards out, who has the option to pick a pass for Karim Benzema or Cristiano Ronaldo.

The German picks the latter and the ex-Manchester United forward makes no mistake to slide the ball into the bottom corner from inside the box.

12min: Another great chance for Munich. Iker Casillas fumbles a shot from the edge of the box but with Franck Ribery waiting to convert the rebound, Khedira makes a timely slide tackle to concede a corner.

9min: What a chance for Munich to equalise! Alaba skates to the byline on the left flank before his cross finds Arjen Robben in the box.

The Dutchman, with just the keeper to beat, clips the low ball over the bar though - bad miss.

Spot on: Cristiano Ronaldo sends Manuel Neuer the wrong way with a penalty kick to score Madrid's first goal

6min: GOAL! REAL MADRID 1-0 Bayern Munich

Thanks Kassai (see 19.18.) Marcelo's cross found Di Maria, whose first time cross cannoned off the arm of David Alaba to win a penalty - The defender had no chance of moving the offending limb as he slid in for a challenge.

To make matters worse he is booked and will now miss the final should Munich get there.

Cristiano Ronaldo is in no mood for sympathy though as he calmly tucked away the penalty into the bottom corner.

5min: PENALTY (Real Madrid)

3min: First chance Madrid. Angel Di Maria cuts in from the byline before laying the ball back for Sami Khedira.

The midfielder elects placement over power though and Manuel Neuer comfortably takes his low shot - decent chance that.

Current Bayern coach Heynckes gave 16-year-old Iker Casillas his first CL call-up for Real at Rosenborg in Nov 1997. Iker stayed on bench.

Calm down Dave! Bayern Munich keeper Oliver Kahn attempts to restrain David Beckham during Real Madrid's 1-0 win over the German side at the Bernabeu in 2004

19.23: Real Madrid have won their last three home games against Bayern Munich but victory still might not be enough this evening.

A 1-0 win, like they achieved in 2004, will see them through on away goals.

But a 3-2 victory, like they achieved in 2007, will see them go out on the same very rule.

If Jose Mourinho's side win 2-1 then we are going to extra-time.

19.18: REF WATCH: Viktor Kassai

It usually backfires when I praise a referee before a game, but Kassai does usually produce the goods.

The Hungarian has a decent track record of officiating big games, even taking control of the Champions League final at Wembley last season between Barcelona and Manchester United

He's proven to be a curse to English sides though this term. Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal have all lost when he has taken control of their European games against Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and AC Milan respectively.
